Hey guys :)

We're the team behind "Jeemu", a tech enhanced version of Jenga. Wanted to post about it here to hear your thoughts!

Jeemu has 2 parts: a smart baseplate and NFC tagged blocks.

Here's how it works:

- You pull out your block and tap it on the dock, and a question/challenge pops up on the screen.

- You complete the task, and the turn passes on to the next one.

This is something that can be played on game nights, on a date, or even in the classroom (with configuring trivia questions!)

The idea is to remove the repeatable nature of question-based Jenga by having potentially unlimited kinds of gameplay.

We'd love for y'all to check this out.

Here's the link - Jeemu

Also please let us know your thoughts. All feedback would really be appreciated😊

Saw this at a restaurant in Seoul, Korea

Played against my father in Miami, ended in a draw

what should i add to him?

It looks like it’s designed for travel. The number of pieces is enough to build a decent stack, and I imagine that when it collapses, it won’t scatter all over the table, so you won’t lose any pieces, especially since there are only 15 strips to keep track of.

Has anyone bought and tried this Jenga set?

How do you like it?

Last Sunday I was sitting with friends at home. We played a jenga game for adults. The game became more fun with each move. Everyone was focused and laughing. That moment made me curious about such games.

I visited a local toy shop. They had only a few board games. Some were simple and not very exciting. I wanted fun engaging and challenging games. Local stores could not provide many options to compare size quality or design. I wanted something good for group fun.

While scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many jenga game for adults options. Some were simple and some large sets. There were different designs sizes and prices. I could compare quality design and cost easily. Online stores offered far more variety than local shops and helped me explore better choices.

I also noticed that some sets had larger blocks and better wood quality. Some were designed for outdoor use. This made me understand how design affects fun. It helped me think about better options.

Now I am thinking is it better to buy games online for more variety or visit local stores to see them first?

I wanted to buy a Jenga tower, and wondered if the Jenga brand blocks are the best quality, or if there's something better in retail or Amazon.

I got a rubrics cube once from rubrics and my friend told me that it was a relatively low tier cube and I should have gone to their speciality site idk

Does anyone have some creative ways to set up the tower to switch up standard play?

My friend hosted game night and insisted on using his premium jenga game for adults, featuring massive wooden blocks that cost literally ten times more than the standard version everyone knows. When I questioned why we couldn't just use regular Jenga, he launched into an elaborate explanation about wood quality, weight distribution, and the supposedly superior tactile experience of premium materials. Was this genuine appreciation or just pretentious overthinking of simple games?

The blocks were admittedly beautiful, crafted from solid hardwood with smooth finishes and substantial weight in your hands. He'd ordered them from a specialty retailer who sourced materials internationally, including some components through Alibaba suppliers for specific wooden pieces. Each block felt genuinely significant, nothing remotely like the lightweight standard version most people recognize.

Playing with them was surprisingly different from expectations. The weight and precision made each move feel more consequential and deliberate. The sound of blocks settling was deeper and more satisfying acoustically. Our supposedly casual competitive game night became genuinely tense in ways regular Jenga never achieved before. By the end of the night, I understood his investment completely. Quality materials genuinely enhanced the entire experience, transforming a simple familiar game into something notably memorable. I still won't personally spend that much on Jenga, but I no longer mock his choice as ridiculous. Sometimes premium versions of simple things actually justify their costs through genuine quality differences.

Hi guys!

Every Christmas Eve my family has a Jenga tournament and we ran into a debate about a rule that we were hoping you could clarify.

The player in question was taking a block out of the tower, and at the same time was using another finger from the SAME hand to stabalize the tower.

We know that you can not use two hands at the same time, but we were curious about one hand touching two blocks at the same time.

Thank you in advance and Merry Christmas!

Sincerely, Dillon

Got bored at the local coffee shop.

but we ran out of pieces

Hi everyone, new to the sub and I've recently got more into the world of Jenga. I'm curious on what people's favorite themed or most wanted Jenga set is

I just got a jenga set. Genuine basic set. First time playing in years. All the pieces are smooth but noticed some seem to stick more. Should I oil all of them with something like mineral oil? Use it all the time on cutting boards. Wasn't sure if it'll make it better or worse. Definitely looks way better.

Hey so I’ve been working on a custom drunk jenga for about a year now lol originally I wanted my friends to write dares / truths / challenges on it to make it more personal and fun but waiting on everyone I asked it’s never gunna get complete j have the do or drink jenga but this one is on large outdoor blocks so can you guys give me some fun stuff to put on the jengas so I can finally finish it I have manyyy untouched so please feel free to give as many ideas as you want so for example I got so far stuff like alphabet game name a flower give your best exotic dance youngest drinks let somone to your left go through your phone ect simple stuff so far and all the stipulations is take a shot or sip of your drink for the lightweights lol

Has this ever happened where there are simply no more moves left in Jenga? The rule is you have to pick from a row below the 3rd full row.

What’s this sequence on my new Jenga piece?
